9. Purdey/Patsy Was Also A Bond Girl

Completing the Avengers hat-trick, in On Her Majestys Secret Service which features Diana Rigg (Mrs Peel) as Bonds ill-fated bride Tracey, a young Joanna Lumley also appears as one of Blofelds Angels of Death. Joanna Lumley would later go on to star as Purdey when The Avengers was relaunched in 1976 as The New Avengers alongside Gareth Hunt and original star Patrick Macnee (who also appeared in Roger Moores last Bond film A View To A Kill).
